the design of foundation

It is of great importance to precisely appraise the mechanical characteristics and to provide credible design parameters of soils for the design of foundation engineering.

精确地评价土的力学性质，提供可信赖的设计参数，对岩土工程设计具有重要的现实意义。

It is pointed out that the design of foundation engineering should be transformed from strength control to deformation control to meet the requirements by environment protection.

基坑工程的设计应该从强度控制设计向变形控制设计的转变，才能满足日益严格的环境要求。

Here, the focus is on establishing a solid design foundation (the architecture) and mitigating the major risks of the project.

这里的重点是建立一个坚实的设计基础(架构)以及减小项目主要的风险。
